Tree Testing: User Testing of Information Hierarchies

Tree Testing: User Testing of Information Hierarchies

Prof. Keith Andrews Graz University of Technology, Austria Abstract Tree testing is a method for evaluating an information hierarchy, widely used in the field of information architecture (IA). Representative test users are presented with a plain, undecorated version of an information hierarchy (tree) and are asked to locate specific items within it. Their progress is recorded, and once a sufficient number of participants have oompleted the tree test, the overall results are analysed, and the information hierarchy can be improved….
